Relational Gospel Implications

Here are two more from Milton Vincent's A Gospel Primer:

Loving My Brothers and Sisters
The more I experience the gospel, the more there develops in me a yearning affection for my fellow Christians who are participating in the glories of the gospel. This affection for them comes loaded with confidence in their continued spiritual growth and ultimate glorification, and it becomes my pleasure to express to them this loving confidence regarding the ongoing work of God in their lives.[1]
With the gospel proving itself to be such a boon in my own life, I realize that the greatest gift I can give my fellow Christians is the gospel itself. Indeed, I love my fellow Christians not simply because of the gospel, but I love them best when I love them with the gospel![2] And I do this not merely by speaking gospel words to them, but also by living before them and generously relating to them in a gospel manner.

A Heart for the Lost
What effect do the gospel meditations of Romans 5-8 have on Paul? What emotions do they produce in him besides the obvious joy he feels while reciting them? Paul bares his soul at the beginning of chapter 9: “I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.. for the sake of my kinsmen….”[3] Coming down from the heights of gospel meditation, Paul’s heart is devastated by a burden for his fellow Jews to experience the saving power of the gospel… Over time, my joy in the gospel will become increasingly tinged with grief, and the grief-stained joy will lend a God-inspired passion to my ministry to the lost.
